Seppic demonstrates the performance of its iconic moisturizer, Aquaxyl™, on all skin types.

Today, consumers are looking for products that meet the specific needs of their own skin type. 

As a result, inclusivity is now a consumer demand as important as hydration, which is one of the sought-after claims for all skin types.

In response to this demand, Seppic re-explored the potential of Aquaxyl™, its natural sugar-based active ingredient reference in moisturization, in order to demonstrate its performance on skin from phototypes 1 to 6.

Aquaxyl Figure - Corneometry & TEWL measurements on worldwide volunteers

When comparing the measurements of corneometry and TEWL (TransEpidermal Water Loss) of different skin types after 8 hours to 30 days of application of a cream containing Aquaxyl™ 3% or a placebo, Aquaxyl™ provides a short and long term moisturization on all skin types.

Aquaxyl™ is a 100% natural(1), readily biodegradable(2) active ingredient without preservatives obtained thanks to a patented sugars technology that respects green chemistry principles and uses no solvent. It activates the three key mechanisms of natural hydration: it reinforces barrier effects, optimizes water reserves and maximizes water circulation within epidermis. Moreover it demonstrates an excellent tolerance for sensitive or irritated skin, ocular & gingival tolerance,  baby care and intimate care.
